[QUOTE="Edena_of_Neith, post: 2045919, member: 2020"] (At this point, Yours Truly is forced to become the DM of the Imaginary IR, if the Imaginary IR is to continue) - GREATER ALIADOR (If Iuz wished to teach the Elves of Aliador a bitter lesson for their destruction of the city of Artonsomay and their attack on Doraaka, he succeeded. Yes, he succeeded. The lesson was harsh indeed. Please read all the below, Rikandur. A third of the Elves of Aliador are now dead. More than a third of their children, since many were massacred in Miranda as well.) Seeing that the Howling Death CANNOT be stopped by any magic of theirs, and that Eilistraees' attention is diverted by the Solnor disaster, the Elves of Aliador and the Star Elves (formerly the Good Drow) and those humans from the Theocracy and Ratik with them retreat underground to the great safeholds Aliador built there long ago. With hundreds of thousands of elves afflicted with the Howling Death, there would appear to be no way to save them - even if 9th level magic could stop the Howling Death, which it cannot. Nor do the Elves of Aliador have the magic to put the sick into stasis. It would appear they are going to have to leave them to die. Then the youth who calls himself Edena shows up. Edena calls Al'Akbar to him, using his telepathy. Edena, working together by some unknown process (the secret of which he DOES NOT DIVULGE TO ANYONE) heals the Aliadorian Elves and Star Elves of the Howling Death. That's a DMs' ruling, Rikandur. The elves still stricken are healed. Of course, Iuz could always start a new Howling Death plague at any time, if he wished. (And, of course, since I proclaimed myself DM without your agreement, you don't have to pay a word of attention to anything I say. Hehe. :) But I hope you do anyways!) Whoever this Edena is, he must have used some pretty powerful magic! (or technology?!) Wishes and the like weren't stopping the Howling Death. But this Edena, did. (The demipowers were stopping the Howling Death, but now their attention is diverted and they cannot fight it and stop the mess at the Isle of the Phoenix simultaneously.) The Elves of Aliador, having lost a third of their entire population at this point, return warily to the surface, in sadness and horror. The Star Elves, also down by a third, also return to the surface, traumatized and fearful. Then Edena, this strange youth, turns his attention to helping Al'Akbar and the others (the Wolf, etc.) to stopping the heat plume over the Isle of the Phoenix from spreading over the whole of Oerth. It becomes clear to the Wolf and others that Edena has an artifact of his own. It also becomes clear he is wielding some new type of magic, of unknown nature. He is very secretive about this magic, and never throws it in the presence of anyone else (not even Al'Akbar.) - GREATER NYROND Many refuges from Aliador came down into northern Nyrond, and brought the Howling Death with them, which is now spreading in Greater Nyrond. As Rikandur has noted, no normal magic will stop it. And it seems to kill the souls of those who die from it. (Thus, a third of Aliador will not be coming back by resurrection, it would seem!) Complete isolation of all affected areas is going to be needed, apparently. Or something else? It's up to King Rhynnon ... if he chooses to be King again. Or, if Greater Nyrond remains split into many little nations, then it is up to the individual rulers of those places, what to do! The youth calling himself Edena halted the Howling Death in Aliador, but he is now busy with the disaster over the Solnor, and is unable to come south at the moment. - THE POMARJ Paxus, just exactly how is the Wolf and his humanoids dragging the Pomarj uphill? I'm not saying it can't be done. I'm merely asking: How do they do it? (be nastily creative :) ) And yes, the humanoids would be safe in the mountains and Underdark from the Summer afflicting the Surface World ... if the disaster in the Solnor is not contained. - EMPIRE OF LYNN AND DEMON NATION OF MIRANDA Since Sollir is not posting - effectively not defending his country - it would appear Demogorgon and his army are winning. As a result, they are gaining INSTANT access to the high technology of Lynn. Already, they have seized a number of Lynns' mecha, missiles, tanks, artillery, guns, aircraft, and ships ... and had the time to figure out how to use them. - THE ISLE OF THE PHOENIX There is no Isle of the Phoenix now, but since the Wolf is throwing blizzards of ice at it, and is getting immediate help from the Shining Lady (a lawful good demipower, for purposes of this IR) and from Lady Gwyndilyn, King Arden, Edena, and (I am assuming) Al'Akbar, the area of superheated air and water is being cooled back down. If the effort can be sustained - if someone doesn't sabotage the process or attack those involved - the threat can be ended. - THE BAKLUNISH EMPIRE / THE THARQUISH EMPIRE / THE EMPIRE OF IUZ Al'Akbar is successful in finding all the Dark Drow who managed to escape Iuzs wrath ... except those in Uveneleis' lands. The Tempest turned Yondalla worshipper is protecting them, and they are gleefully accepting that protection ... and daring Al'Akbar and Iuz to violate the sovereign territory of a now good and peaceful nation to get at them. - POLARIA / AESTIA / ZINDIA / NIPPON / AERDI / ORCREICH / ELSEWHERE Uh ... ok ... are Zagyg, Hachiman, the Dragon, and others, trying to do anything about the catastrophe that used to be the Isle of the Phoenix, out in the Solnor Ocean? Those currently trying to stop the spread of the superheated air and water could use some help. And the elves of Polaria, seem to have developed two interesting abilities: a TOTAL immunity to cold and a VERY powerful magical ability to cause cold. These are the elves serving St. Nick of Polaria, who have gained these abilities. Turn 1 is over. 3 months have passed. Turn 2 is now begun. (Don't send me any templates: those are reserved for Serpenteyes' serious 5th IR. Just tell me what your power does.) [/QUOTE]
